I got to say i tried every civ in the mod in just a couple of days, i ate this mod like a long waited book and i am greatly impressed, this mod deseves a huge crowd and perhaps be integrated in a possible remaster like Forgotten Empired mod did in AoE2 HD
My usual tactic is to play defensive until i upgraded everything possible for militar and economy then unleash my army of overpowered troops at the enemy
This strategy was the best solution for two of them: American and Ethiopian
America is pretty much amazing, all around well done, but Ethiopians are those who impressed me most not only because of their perks but because of one thing. SEBASTOPOL.
Yes, the enormous cannon. Bringing memories of old vanilla matches with Ottoman bombards and their impact. But guys, these things are incredible. Once you fully upgrade them, they have:
More than 1000HP
1000 BASE attack, x3 against buildings
58 range. FIFTY EIGHT
Enough line of sight to see and smash to crumbs whatever walks with another banner than yours before they even notice you. all of this with 8 population each, +1 compared to a normal heavy artillery.

Whoever makes a little army of these is pretty much invincible i think, but what i also was wondering: since this is a RUSSIAN artillery, why doesnt Russians have it as well ?

Yes, the Tsar Cannon is only available through a HC level 40 card in the Russian Military Academy.

I think you're right, Takatmo Yereoc.... and thanks to new patch, now i no longer confused the HC card of tsar cannon, which sent 1 tsar cannon and a HC card same name but send 2 heavy cannons anymore (before new patch released, i detect 2 HC card in Russia same name "Tsar Cannon", but 1 HC card send 2 heavy cannons, and other one send 1 tsar cannon)

Takatmo Yereoc. after a long time of my thinking, i realized that it could be a better idea if you use Tsar cannon as heavy cannon replacement (both shipments and factory in russian civs spawn tsar cannons over time instead of heavy cannon)
just because of balancing, it could be very brute if russian civs use 2 heavy artillery. i detected that most european civs can only obtain 1 heavy artillery, and this artillery can be found via shipments and factory)
